DESCRIPTIONCarisoprodol belongs to a class of drugs known as muscle relaxants. This drugs that reduce the tension in skeletal muscles. They are used to treat muscle spasms (involuntary and often painful contractions of muscles caused by injury or disease) and spasticity, in which the muscles are continually in a state of increased tension or rigidity due to such disorders as multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.
The muscle relaxants used in surgery during general anaesthesia work in a different way. They act at neuromuscular junctions (where the nerve fibre meets the muscle it supplies) to block the transmission of nerve impulses, either by binding to receptor sites normally occupied by the chemical transmitter acetylcholine (nondepolarizing muscle relaxants, such as pancuronium and mivacurium ) or by mimicking the action of acetylcholine, making the muscle no longer receptive to stimulation by this transmitter (depolarizing muscle relaxants, such as suxamethonium).
